A post is making its way around social media circles and it caught my interest– What would your occupation be if you had followed your childhood dreams?

This post resonates and provokes engagement & conversation, but it doesn’t inherently touch on wisdom I believe to be true– start now.

Whatever you want to do, it benefits you to start now. Have a bright idea to do a thing? Do it today no matter what your resources are. You have more to gain, and less to risk today than you will when you’re “ready.” Start now.

Is it a business? The good idea you have now is subject to change with market preferences– and the competition beating you to the punch. You are limited only by the literal definition by which you decide you’re able to gain the resources you require to make it happen. Start now.

Is it a good idea for your community? Get in the arena now while others are weighing the options. Who dares, wins. The difference you make in minutes today means a better quality of life for those affected by your program. Ship it. Do it. Produce good work, change the culture and start now.

Embrace certain capitalistic truths– an entrepreneur is more or less defined as a person who sees opportunity with resources not currently possessed– believe this, know it’s been done before, and use this to your advantage to affect the change you want to see.
Start now.

A little from my days of running a bike shop right here… I started it then, and I’m glad I did.
